Manufacturer Says Four-Hour Work Day
May Solve Old Age, Retirement Problems
Chicago (U.R) Manufactur
er Curt G. Joa believes his plan
for a four-hour day may go a
long way toward solving the in
creasing problems of old age and
retirement.
"If a skilled, experienced
worker can't" keep up an eight
hour pace, don't throw the work
er away," he said. "Change the
pace."
That's what Joa has done at
his Lake Wales, Fla., plant,
where he produces precision ma
chinery. Pensioners past the or
dinary retirement age work a
four-hour shift, morning or after
noon. Part of the staff consists of
Soviet Plane Takes
'Goodies' to Envoys
Geneva (U.R) Every day a
Soviet plane lands at Geneva
airport as part of the Russian
"gastronomic airlift."
It is heavy with Russian food:
Fresh fish from the Baltic and
Caspai, sturgeon from the Volga,
vegetables from the Ukraine and
special containers of soft waters
in which to cook them. The
Russians claim there is nothing
like Moscow water to soften up
the vegetables and make the
pastry rise.
The plane includes vodka,
Russian cheese, Crimean wines
and gallons of Russian mineral
water.
The Russian gastronomic of
fensive, however, has some
French critics here. The French
especially complain the Russian
pastry is too heavy, the wine is
not matured enough .and the
Russian cognac is not good.
younger employees working a
full eight hours to insure continu
ity. Joa, here for a speech about
his plan, said it calls for "grad
ual retirement." Forced retire
ment at an arbitrary age, he said,
is "one of society's greatest
crimes."
"You give a man a gold watch
on his retirement, so he can sit
and listen to it tick," Joa said.
It's a fast trip down hill."
When this was an agricultural
country, he said, grandpa retired
gradually, and gave the benefit
of his accumulated wisdom to
his sons.
Accent en Youth
Now. in this industrial age,
the accent is on youth, Joa said,
and industry wastes a golden
asset in the skills of its senior
employees.
' Joa said the four-hour shift has
paid off well at his Lake Wales
plant. The younger employees
learn to become skilled mechan
ics from the older men who have
spent long years acquiring their
know-how.
"The older men impart their
knowledge with pride," Joa said.
"They've got real job security,
and they know the younger men
aren't going to beat them out.
So they hold back nothing."
Perhaps Joa places a higher
premium on skill than some man
ufacturers do. He was born in
the Black Forest country of Ger
many, -where tradition reveres
the skilled craftsman.
He got his master's degree in
mechanical engineering in Ger
many, along with a doctorate in
political science, and came to
this country in 1924 to become
a consulting engineer in Wisconsin.

working and paper products.
Got Restless
Joa, 52, an energetic man with
an interest in everything around
him, went to Florida for his
health a few years ago. But he
got restless.
The woods were full of retired
mechanics and machinists," he
said. "And they were bored stiff.
So I set up the Lake Wales oper
ation and the four-hour shift.
Joa's grandfather, a German
builder and architect, remarried
at the age of 65 and fathered
three more children for a total
of 19. Among the three was Joa's
mother.
"So you might say that if
grandpa had retired at the age
of 65," Joa said, "I wouldn't be
here."
Bridges Defense
Closes Arguments
San Francisco (U.R) Harry
Bridges' defense yesterday as-
serted it would be a "mockery
of the judicial process" to find
the ILWU president guilty of
concealing Communist party
membership and strip him of
United States citizenship.
Chief Defense Counsel Telford
Taylor, in presenting final argu
ments, asserted tnat the gov
ernments evidence against the
Australian-born labor leader
"does not leave the matter in
doubt."
Bridges has been charged with
fraudulently obtaining U. S. citi
zenship by lying about Commu
nist party membership.
Assistant U. S. Attorney Lynn
Gillard maintained the defense
had not met "head on" direct
evidence presented by the gov
ernment, and that the 54-year-
old longshore leader's testimony
was impeached 30 times by testi
mony during the current trial or
at previous hearings.
The chief prosecutor was to
complete his arguments this
morning in San Francisco fed
eral court . . . after which Judge
Louis Goodman is expected to
take the three-week-old case un
der submission.
Logger Charged With
Reckless Driving
Coquille, Ore. (U.R) Reck
less driving charges were filed
against a Coquille man in Co
quille justice court yesterday
after two huge logs slipped off
his logging truck on Highway 42,
seriously Injuring three occu
pants of an automobile.
The auto, knocked off the
highway, was demolished.
The charges were filed against
Calvin Farrin. He was driving
about two miles south of Co
quille when his truck struck an
other truck a glancing blow;
which broke the log binders.
The two logs crashed into a
vehicle driven by Mrs. Ellen
Farmer, 55, causing severe head
lacerations to her and her grand
son, Allan Farmer, 2. The worn
an's husband, Allan, who had
lost a hand earlier in the day
in a trimsaw accident at a saw
mill, suffered broken ribs and
lacerations. The Farmers are

Doing Good Job
With U. S. Cases
Washington (U.R) A Senate
committee reports that' agree
ments giving foreign countries
criminal jurisdiction over U.S.
troops are generally operating
"satisfactorily."
An Armed Services subcom
mittee, headed by Sen. San. Er
vin (N.C.) was set up earlier this
year to look into the operation
of the agreements the United
States has with some 60 countries.
The so-called "status of forces"
agreements have been criticized
by some congressmen on the
grounds that they deprive
American servicemen of their
constitutional rights.
The subcommittee said that it
found that generally the agree
ments are "operating satisfac
torily" and that the exercise of
foreign criminal jurisdiction
has not had an adverse effect
on the morale and efficiency of
American troops."
The subcommittee said, how
ever, that in two countries
Turkey and French Morocco
there have been delays in bring
ing U.S. servicemen to trial.
During the period from De
cember, 1953, to December 1954,
the report said, there were 7,416
ouenses by American service
men involving foreign laws or
subjects. About 5,370 of these
were traffic violations.
Of these offenses, the report
said, only 20 per cent were tried
by foreign courts. Waivers were
granted in the others.
And out of the cases tried by
foreign courts, the report said,
only 77 American servicemen
received jail sentences that were
not suspended.

South Auditorium Site
Portland (U.R) The 24-acre
south auditorium site was rec
ommended by the City Planning
commission yesterday for Port
land's $8,000,000 exposition-rec
reation center. The tract lies be

How can the Western gam

pay entertainers in their night
clubs such abnormal salaries as
$25,000 and $50,000 a week? A
possible aid to understanding
this fantastic situation is a state
ment made by Richard Canfield,
celebrated gambling house oper
ator of the yesteryear. Said Can
field, "Every time a roulette
Mtheel is spun, the percentage on
a 36 inch wheel is 5 519 per cent
against the player. I get 5 519
per cent on my money every
time a roulette wheel is spun."
Horses ft Women
Originators of artificial aids
to feminine appearance continue
to display amazing ingenuity.
Now there has been originated
a "falsie" type of garment that
makes it possible for any woman
to feature a figure resembling
that of Marilyn Monroe. It is a
corset with built in curves. What
would be a good slogan for this
remarkable garment? How
about, "You, too, can be a Mari

you say? Well, how about this,
"Go forth looking like Sheree

Good Little Man
The Archie Moore-Bobo Olson
pugilistic brawl once more
brought up the question of the
chances of a "good little man"
defeating a "good big man." A
highly interesting example of a
good little man emerging trium
phant was when Bob Fitzsim
mons floored Jim Corbett at Car
son City, Nev., on St. Patrick's
Day, 1897. For that classic bout
Fitzsimmons entered the ring
weighing 156 pounds. Corbett
weighed 187. Yes, sir, the good
big man outweighed the good
little man by just about 30
pounds. Yet the big fellow was
knocked flatter than a little thin
pancake.. So it can be done.
So They Say
Sagittarius (November 23-De-cember
22) women crave little
attentions and keep hoping chiv
alry is not dead as alleged. For
a Sagittarian beauty, open doors,
light her cigaret, help her off and
on with her coat, assist her to
alight from automobiles and seat
her at tables. That will get you
off to a good start with her. How
ever, if you marry the girl don't
think you can cut down on the
"little attentions." No, sir, you
have to follow that line con
stantly if you want to live even
moderately happy with a Sagit
tarian. Or, so say the stargazers.

'Plight' of Dairy
Farmer Liked
New Jersey Demo
Washington (U.R) Rep.
Tumulty says the Voice of Amer
ica should be stricken with
"laryngitis" for telling the world
that U.S. dairy farmers aren't
trying to make a lot of money.
The New Jersey Democrat
says:
"Why, everybody knows the
symbol of prosperity is the big
butter and egg man."
The controversy was set off
when the voice described the
life of dairy farmers. The broad
cast said "American farmers
don't get into the dairy business
to make vast sums of money but
to establish a way of life."
Wealthiest People
Tumulty, who admits he
knows nothing about farming
except that "cows produce
milk," said dairy farmers are
some of the "wealthiest people
in the country. It's a way of life
all right," he said. "I think it's
a pretty good one."
Buying a bottle of milk or a
pound of butter is like trying to
get a gold bar from Fort Knox,
Tumulty said. And those com
plaining about the plight of
dairy farmers, he said, make it
appear they are "down to the
last yacht."
Rep. August Andresen, a lead
ing . dairy congressman, dis
agreed. He said the Voice of
America was exactly right.
"I don't know many of them
that do get rich," said the Minne
sota Republican. "The average
dairy farmer just makes a living,
applying a lot of hard work."

Buick brawn, Buick solidity, Buick
handling ease, Buick styling and visi
bility and interior luxury.
And here you have the lift and life of
vigorous new V8 power of record
might and coupled to the spectacular
performance of Buick's Variable
Pitch Dynaflow.
Why wait a day longer when you
can come in right now and try the
first true hardtop with the extra
comfort, room and convenience of a
full-sized 4-door sedan?
Drop in tomorrow, first thing for
a look at the price, and an idea of the
